The details
About this item
It's a little known fact that many popular music standards of the Tin Pan Alley era were written by women. But between 1920 and 1949, 178 women joined ASCAP, and Dorothy Fields, Kay Swift, Dana Suesse and Ann Ronell were among the most influential songwriters of the time. Their music was heard everywhere--from the vaudeville stages to Broadway, across the airwaves and at the movies. Yours for a Song pays tribute to the lives and work of these remarkable women. Features Betty Buckley, Michael Feinstein, Robert White, Nora Michaels and others performing their interpretations of classic songs written by the women of Tin Pan Alley. Also includes archival footage, motion picture clips and rarely-seen photographs from the "Golden Age of Songwriting" as well as performance clips of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Perry Como. Songs include: "Yours for a Song," Choose your platform/edition, then jump in—story, missions, and extras depend on the version. Rated 4.7 out of 5. Customers find this documentary to be wonderful, with one noting its historical significance.

Review snippets: I learned so much from this DVD. It was wonderful to see and hear these women who paved the way for so many others. Betty Buckley's voice has not aged well, but she was a gracious 'emcee', and obviously knows / I ordered and read this dvd as research for a project. Just loved it! Loved seeing the clips, hearing the music, and learning names of important contributors to the music of our country and specifically to Tin Pan Alley. Read
